This book tackles the problem of complexity within IT environments,
i.e., "Cybercomplexity," which is generally recognized as a
principal source of cybersecurity risk. The book first defines
complexity and simplifies its analysis by assuming a probabilistic
approach to security risk management. It then proposes a simple
model of cybercomplexity that is based on Shannon entropy, a basic
concept in information theory. The key drivers of
cybercomplexity emerge from this model, where these drivers reveal
the scale-dependence of cybersecurity risk and explain why
macroscopic security controls are required to address cybersecurity
risk on an enterprise scale. The significant operational
implications of cybercomplexity are also discussed, thereby
providing both a theoretical framework and a practical guide to
addressing this longstanding problem in cybersecurity risk
management.    Â
